Advent Calendar; Day 6

I’d love to see your results if you are making daily pages for a similar advent calendar. If you missed the tutorial at the start, here’s Part 1, which contained a download for how to create your calendar. Hope you like this project and will join me tomorrow for the next page.

Anyone just seen the friendly plastic show on Create & Craft with Liz Welch. It was a brilliant show and I’d love to try that, must put the DVD and sticks on my wish list of things to save up for! In the show Liz mentioned she had a blog, I just did a search and found it here; http://www.lizwelch.me.uk/

Journalling, give Art Journalling a try or create your own journal. Decorate a pre made journal.

The most important thing about this challenge is that you have fun and explore. Don’t feel pressured to have a finished item at the end of the month. Explore different styles and techniques either in person, if you have the supplies, or through research, looking online.

You learn so much more when you take away the rules and just PLAY. Adapt this challenge to a creative style that interests you. Enjoy :)
